JAKARTA: While many young Indonesians have taken to the streets to press their concerns on the government, others are choosing decentralised movements, making their politics known through alternative spaces such as cultural outlets, amid a shrinking civic space.
Dongker, a punk band from Bandung, West Java, is one of the loudest examples. Formed by students of the Bandung Institute of Technology’s School of Art and Design, the band has spent years including anti-institutional material in its performances.

雅加达:在公民空间日益萎缩的情况下,许多印尼年轻人走上街头,向政府表达他们的诉求,而另一些人则选择分散式运动,通过文化场所等替代空间来表达他们的政治观点。
来自西爪哇省万隆的朋克乐队 Dongker 就是其中最引人注目的例子之一。这支乐队由万隆理工学院艺术与设计学院的学生组成,多年来一直在演出中融入反体制的内容。
